The web server does not have that feature, no.

Is that a possible option that can be added?

you can use a rule in your firewall.

i using iptables on linux

Yes, put haproxy in front of it.

you guys dont get it.

phil here doesnt understand what's happening. he sees 4 connections from one guy and wonders "gee! why does 1 guy need 4 connections! that makes my system slow!"

he doesn't understand that without all those threads, the site would load even slower.

Browsers will use up to 6 connections to a server. Note: these
connections are usually short lived, and short of supporting HTTP(S) 2+,
and even then, you're not likely to reduce this.

It doesn't take up much overhead per connection, especially since most
of those requests are static assets. I don't know if Synchronet
supports if-modified-since or E-Tag, and if it does, it's even less
overhead.

In general, don't worry about it. If you're seeing more than that, it's probably a search engine, you can limit this, for most good bots with a robots.txt file as appropriate in the web root.

It's complicated, but you can use a reverse proxy in front of your BBSes
web application. You may be able to integrate the certificate used for
TLS (letsyncrypt.js), but don't know enough details to walk one through
that, I hadn't tried/figured it out.
